Garret Anderson has retired from baseball.

Anderson will make it all official Tuesday at a press conference. The 38-year-old outfielder compiled a .293/.324/.461 career batting line, 2,529 hits and 289 home runs over 17 major league seasons. He was named to three All-Star teams and finished with MVP votes three different years. Tue, Mar 1, 2011 01:50:00 PM

Steve Dilbeck of the Los Angeles Times writes that the Dodgers could designate Garret Anderson for assignment when Reed Johnson is ready to come off the disabled list.

Anderson is a respected veteran, but it's hard to argue with Dilbeck's premise. The 38-year-old outfielder is batting a meager .178/.193/.274 with two home runs and 11 RBI in 135 at-bats this season. Dilbeck writes that the Dodgers could be forced to make a decision when Reed Johnson is eligible to come off the disabled list later this month. Fri, Jul 16, 2010 09:46:00 AM

Joel Sherman of the New York Post reports that Scott Kazmir did not exercise the opt-out clause in his contract with the Dodgers.

That means that he'll remain with the Dodgers and earn $32 million over the next two seasons. Given the scarcity of quality starting pitchers in the free agent market this winter, he could become an attractive trade chip for the Dodgers.

Liberatore posted a 0.61 ERA in the first half but had elbow issues in the second half and posted a 9.45 ERA. He's expected to be ready to go at the beginning of next season. Grant Dayton is a lock for the NLDS roster now.
